Nicole Richie and her Good Charlotte front man husband Joel Madden welcomed Harlow Winter Kate Richie Madden into the world on January 11, 2008. The following year, the girl’s name Harlow appeared on the U.S. popularity charts for the first time ever, and it’s showing increased usage each subsequent year. The same cannot be said for “Sparrow” which is the name the couple gave their son in September 2009 (full name: Sparrow James Midnight Madden). Sparrow? Really? Sounds ultra-feminine to us, but at least mom and dad gave him a normal middle name (James) so he can opt for that one in Junior High. Then again, he’ll probably be going to school with kids named Zuma, Pilot, Apple and Banjo. So does it really matter?
